Back To School Image
It's Elementary...
New Job + New Destination = New Schools
 
The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.  
 ~Sydney J. Harris

Relocating with school-aged children can present additional challenges when it comes to finding a home in your new destination.  Whether you rent or own, the new school your children will attend becomes the number one priority and the defining factor in your homesearch. Whether you have children in school or not, "Why the School District Should Impact Your Homesearch," on Homefinder.com's blog, is a great article outlining the importance of the local school as it relates to the local real estate market.

Fortunately, searching for schools in this era of technology is a breeze!  Almost all school districts have websites loaded with valuable information, such as school locators based on neighborhoods, enrollment information and parent portals.  You can start your school search prior to your move by utilizing several great sites, such as Great Schools, School Digger and Private School Review.  Make sure you contact the district or school(s) you are interested in directly with specific questions, and try to schedule school tours while you are house-hunting. 

Once you have decided on a new school and place to call home in your new destination, both you and your children may experience several emotions...anxiety, stress, sadness at saying goodbye to old friends, but also excitement for new opportunities and new friends yet to be made.  For tips to help your family's transition to a new school, read "How to Address the Pressure and Adjustment of Moving and Beginning a New School," by Psychology Today
